Across
- 2. Process of applying algorithms to the raw data to align the histogram with the LUT
- 4. Receives remnant radiation in DR imaging
- 7. A cell within a matrix
- 10. Electronic components that store the detected energy in DR imaging
- 17. Area of the image receptor where the raw data are collected from
- 18. Degree of lightness or lack of lightness of the pixels in the image
- 19. Assigning each pixel a digital number that represents the amount of light emitted from the surface of IP
- 21. The layout of pixels in rows and columns
- 22. Ability of an imaging system to distinguish small adjacent details from each other in the image
- 24. Occurs when IP is not adequately erased before the next image is exposed on it
